Immediate Past-President Professor Roger Kirby shares insights for in latest issue of our member magazine, RSM Connect.

Obesity, inactivity and overconsumption are the biggest health challenges men face
🥑“We live in an obesogenic environment – everything around us encourages overeating."

Weight-loss drugs are just one part of the solution
💊"Self-control, exercise and education remain the best medicine."

There are no easy answers when it comes to prostate screening
🔬“It’s complex. At the moment, I don’t support universal screening. It would cost a fortune and lead to huge over-treatment. We need better, cheaper diagnostics before mass screening becomes realistic."

Healthcare professionals should plan for the coming impact of AI on men's mental health
📱"With AI taking over many professional roles – lawyers, accountants, even writers – (su***de) could become an even greater problem. We need to prepare for that and create support structures."

📰 Professor Kirby’s full interview in RSM Connect offers a thoughtful look at the issues shaping men’s health today.

Our Trustees bring diverse experience from across healthcare, leadership and enterprise — united by a shared commitment to advancing learning and improving health. Here’s what a few of them had to say about what being part of the RSM means to them 👇

💬Professor Gillian Leng CBE, RSM President: “The RSM’s strength lies in its people — our members, staff and volunteers. As President, I chair the Council and help shape strategic opportunities for learning and connection that truly support healthcare professionals to improve patient care.”

💬Professor Paul O’Flynn, Trustee and Vice-President of RSM Council: “The RSM has always been about sharing knowledge and inspiring excellence in medicine. As a Trustee, I see my role as ensuring that spirit continues to thrive for generations of clinicians to come.”

💬Professor Maggie Rae, Trustee and Vice-President of RSM Council: “Public health is about people, and so is the RSM. It’s a privilege to help steer an organisation that brings together different parts of the healthcare community to learn from one another and make real impact.”

We’re grateful to all our Trustees for their insight, leadership and commitment to advancing medicine and healthcare.
